How to choose a Samsung smartphone

For long-term use, the case must be non-slip and durable, scratch-resistant. The best quality is metal, and plastic can crack if dropped.

Screen diagonal

Samsung has a minimum diagonal of 3.4 inches and a maximum of 6.7 inches. The smaller the screen, the more comfortable and confident the phone is in the palm of your hand. Women are encouraged to take gadgets that can be held with one hand - up to 6 inches, and men are also encouraged to use more bulky devices.

Number of main cameras

The company's devices have at least 1 main camera for photo and video recording and 1 front camera for video calls. The more pixels they have, the clearer the pictures are. To expand the capabilities of the photographer, you can choose a model with 3-4 additional modules that allow you to shoot portraits, landscapes, panoramas.

Memory

When planning to choose some good smartphone from Samsung, you should pay attention to the RAM and internal memory. The first is responsible for the performance and speed of the system; the larger it is, the more stable several applications run simultaneously in the background. Therefore, for calls and using the Internet, 1-2 GB is enough, and if we are talking about games, then you need at least 3-4 GB.

The built-in memory is needed to store content directly in the phone. If its volume is small (up to 10-20 GB), then you cannot do without an additional storage card. Each model has its maximum volume. Samsung has 1 TB, which allows you to keep movies, music, photos in your smartphone.

Battery capacity

This indicator affects how long the battery holds a charge.The higher it is, the longer the smartphone works without replenishing resources. For example, at 2000 mAh in talk mode the gadget "lives" on average 10 hours. If you connect the Internet, watch videos and play, the battery will drain 2 times faster. Therefore, those who are looking for a device for entertainment should pay attention to models with a battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh or more.

Screen resolution

The higher the display resolution, the clearer and brighter the picture. For comfortable perception of content with a screen diagonal of 4 to 5 inches, 480 × 800-540 × 960 is enough, and for large sizes - from 1280 × 720 to 1920 × 1080.

Comparison of Samsung smartphones

All models considered in the rating refer to phablets, which are a cross between a smartphone and tablet... We are talking about the Galaxy line.

Based on the comparison table, the S20 Ultra 12 / 128GB smartphone wins in 4 parameters, which is inferior only to the M21 model in terms of battery capacity.

Which Samsung smartphone is better

When choosing a touchscreen phone, battery capacity is the main criterion. For making mostly calls, 3500-4000 mAh is enough. If you need to surf the Internet a lot, then the minimum threshold is 4500 mAh. Selfie lovers are advised to pay attention to models with a camera with a resolution of 13 megapixels and with several modules.

When choosing which Samsung smartphone is better, it is necessary to take into account the purposes of its operation and technical characteristics:

• The most "hardy" gadget in terms of battery life is the M21 with a 6000 mAh battery.
• The most robust is the S10 model with an aluminum body.
• The fastest and most productive is the S20 Ultra with 12 GB of RAM.
• Compact and convenient for women turned out to be A01 with a 5.7-inch screen.
• For video calls, the Note 10 Lite with a high-resolution front camera was best suited.
• For photography enthusiasts, the A71 with 4 camera modules will come in handy.
• The “A31” gadget can be considered as a gaming smartphone.
• When it comes to surfing the Internet, the A20s is just right.
• When using the phone primarily as a dialer, the A10 and A11 versions are good choices.

Based on the cost, you can form an "image" of the desired smartphone and determine its characteristics - RAM, screen resolution, display diagonal, etc. The main thing is that it fits comfortably in your hand, works without lags and does not crack at the first fall.
